Summary:  "The author of The Willpower Instinct delivers a controversial book that overturns long-held beliefs about stress. More than forty-four percent of Americans admit to losing sleep over stress. And while most of us do everything we can to reduce it, Stanford psychologist Kelly McGonigal, Ph.D. believes stress isn't bad. New research indicates that stress can make us stronger, smarter, and happier--if we learn how to embrace it. The correlation between resilience--the human capacity for stress-related growth--and mind-set, the power of beliefs to shape reality. How to cultivate a mind-set to embrace stress, how stress can provide focus and energy, how stress can help people connect and strengthen close relationships, why your brain is built to learn from stress, and how to increase its ability to learn from challenging experiences. The author's TED talk ("Kelly McGonigal: How to make stress your friend") has received millions of views. We can't eliminate the stress in our lives but we can learn to take advantage of it. This is a guide to getting better at stress, by understanding it, embracing it, and using it"--Provided by publisher.
